Breaking Glass Pictures Says Oct. 29 For The Domestic DVD Debut Of Out In The Dark

Not a day goes by that
news isn’t filled with conflict in the Middle East.Egypt, Syria, Iran and of course, the
on-going tensions between Israel and Palestine.

In is against this
backdrop that writer/director Michael Mayer delivers his tale of friendship and
love, Out in the Dark.Due on
DVD from Breaking Glass Pictures on Oct. 29

Out in the Dark is not just about any love affair, but one
between two gay men … one is an Israeli lawyer named Roy (Michael Aloni) and
the other a Palestinian student named Nimr (Nicholas Jacob).

On the surface this dangerous liaison seems
unlikely, but filmmaker Michael Mayer has drawn upon his own experiences at a
Tel Aviv shelter for gay and lesbian refugees for this intense dramatic tale.

Not only does the film
ring true, but Mayer took some daring chances during the actual production …
actually shooting scenes on the streets of Ramallah.Just imagine if the locals had learned that
an Israeli filmmaker was in the city making a movie about a love affair between
an Israeli and Palestinian — the gay part wouldn’t have even mattered!

Presented in Hebrew and
Arabic with English subtitles.Bonus
features include commentary from Mayer, deleted scenes and interviews with the
cast.
